Merkur UK has teamed up with the University of Central Lancashire for a three-year research project entitled The Next Generation of Gaming Technology.
Ten students from the university’s technology department will explore machine design, the reduction of manufacturing and transport costs and how AI can be applied in predictive machine maintenance.
“I am delighted to confirm this dynamic project which will bring a fresh and exciting perspective on how technology can be deployed to develop the next generation of gaming machines,” said Sascha Blodau, general manager at Merkur UK.
“This type of collaboration is a first in the UK land-based sector and the outcomes could well have profound implications for the way in which gambling entertainment is delivered to and enjoyed by players.”
